The craziest last meal requests from prisoners on death row

18. Lump of Dirt (James Edward Smith)

Smith was involved in a robbery gone wrong. During the robbery at a cashier’s office Smith shot and killed a man. He was found guilty and was sentenced to be executed. When asked for his last meal Smith requested a lump of dirt. Most likely, this request was out of spite. After all, his sentence was death, so what better way to “spit back” at the establishment than by not giving them the satisfaction of a last meal? In hindsight, not a wise decision, but apparently Smith had a history of making the wrong decisions. He was not given this; instead, receiving yogurt. Assuming it was plain yogurt, not much difference in the taste.
